The Bread Bible

By Rose Levy Beranbaum
W.W. Norton & Co. - 2003

Like all of rose's books it is very well tested and covers a wlde range of breads. I own this book for a few years but it wasn't until I took a bread baking course that I started reading this book cover to cover. It has alot of useful information about the essentials of baking bread.She guides us through all the steps for each bread and gives us many tips for solving problems if they arise. All the recipes I have made have beenvery good.
